Heard a guy at a coffee shop in Denver say he quit his Python class after 2 days, and I get it now
I was sitting at a coffee shop on Colfax in Denver about a week ago and overheard two guys talking about learning to code. One of them quit his Python class after two days because the teacher jumped straight into classes and objects without explaining why. That hit me because I did the same thing my first try, I bailed after three days when the tutorial started talking about loops and I had no clue what problem loops even solved. This time I did it different, I spent four days just writing tiny scripts that did dumb stuff like print my grocery list or rename photos in a folder. Once I actually needed a loop to go through a list of files, the concept clicked in maybe 10 minutes instead of staring at it for an hour confused. I think the order matters way more than people admit, and most beginner courses get it backwards by teaching the tool before the reason. Anyone else find that starting with a tiny annoying problem made the boring concepts finally stick?
